"Each chapter of the series will be strictly limited to 300, with no re-pressings and will have three editions, Black Virgin (for those who love black vinyl), OBI Edition, and the Resurrection Edition.

"These will be the most badass vinyl we’ve ever put out, with the art all tied together by Joseph Rudell and Carrie Olaje. Expect Chapter One to come out end April or early May. Here’s a sneak peek at the rough art for the first cover." More...

Atlanta's Volume IV may have been quiet as of late, but with a huge year ahead and many things to announce in the coming months, the group is kicking things off by taking southern-tinged biker doom riffs on the road. Dates are as follows:

MetalSucks is hosting the premiere of Volume IV's gruesome video for "Awake The Dreamer," which appears on the 2014 LP, "Long In The Tooth."

The folks over at MS joke that, "What draws us to Volume IV is their willingness to step a bit outside the confines of what you might normally expect from a group of stoner/sludge/whatever beardos and longhairs."

Check out the music video in the player below. The album's track listing is as follows:

Atlanta’s Volume IV, featuring Joe Carpenter of Nihilist, has just announced the release of Ripple Music debut album, "Long In The Tooth," which will be coming out in the U.S. on March 11th, and is scheduled to hit the European stores on March 14th of 2014. Ripple Music comments on the band:

"With equal parts elegant beauty and steamrolling aggression, Volume IV serve up a piece of ear candy for the ages with Long In The Tooth. This first release with Ripple Music is a concise, 36-minute thrill ride of swampy metal heroics, featuring heavy grooves, classic bluesy stoner riffs, and an overall impending sense of doom.

"These boys bring back the old school attitude of musical sensibility, working hard to master your instrument, and taking pride in creating a wide pallet of musical styles: Thunderous drumming locked tight within the pocket, bass guitar providing a dense foundation for the thick guitar and gritty yet melodic vocals that lay on top. In a world where everything is mechanized, click-tracked and auto-tuned, Volume IV does it the only way, the honest way, straight from the gut, which is what we need to make music human again and separate the men from the boys.

Ripple Music has announced the signing of hard-hitting American heavy rockers Volume IV to its roster. Volume IV is hard at work recording its debut album for the label, tentatively titled "Long in the Tooth," which will see a 2014 release after the band makes plans to tour and hopefully hit all the major heavy rock festivals.

Volume IV commented yesterday upon the new alliance; "Other than not signing us in the back of a limo over mounds of cocaine, we feel Ripple is one of the best labels going and we are proud to be part of the family!! It's clear that these guys don't compromise in terms of putting out creative music and are true believers of heavy rock. The variety of bands and the sheer quality of music they've released speaks for itself. We're very honored that our music earned its place among their ranks!"
